I'm thrilled to find this challenge posted! I enjoyed last year's challenge very much - after reading The Glassblower of Murano for the challenge, I tried Prosecco for the first time, and built a jigsaw puzzle with a Venetian canal scene - fun!

Just by luck I was reading the first published work of the great Irish writer of Gothic/Horror tales, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and found a very interesting story from 1843 set during Carnival in Venice-It verifies the idea that Venice was viewed during the period, as seen in the Edith Wharton story I posted on, as a place of exotic delights and sinister evil.
